In 2370, Boraal II suffered an atmospheric dissipation. There were severe storms for several days prior to the dissipation, which forced Rozhenko and a group of the Boraalans into caves. The USS Enterprise-D responded to Rozhenko's distress call, and arrived in time to watch all life on the planet be destroyed and the planet become uninhabitable. The Enterprise's systems were slightly damaged by the plasmonic discharges during the dissipation.
